Top 3 sleepers to crack the Bills 53-man roster

In just under one month from now, the Buffalo Bills and the entire Bills staff will be getting cozy at St. John Fisher College in Rochester, N.Y. to start training camp and a new era of Western New York football.

Training camp is a time for teammates to develop chemistry and camaraderie with one another, but most importantly, it’s a time for the coaches and front office to evaluate talent and select which men will move forward with the team.

Buffalo made quite a few changes in the offseason, almost too many to keep track of. The team not only replaced nearly their entire coaching staff and front office, but they made a number of changes to their roster, as well.

There’s something beautiful and poetic about players who rise to the occasion in training camp and go on to become household names. Players such as Stevie Johnson and Fred Jackson come to mind when thinking of recent players that seized that opportunity in a Bills uniform. They came into camp as relative unknowns only to show that they could provide more than what the team was asking of them.

The same is true for the team’s upcoming training camp. Ninety men walk into training camp and only fifty-three come out on the roster. Let’s take a look at who some of those sleepers could be in the 2017 Buffalo Bills training camp.

LB Ramon Humber

Buffalo acquired Humber just as the 2016 season was set to begin. As a 2009 undrafted free agent, Humber has spent the majority of his nine seasons in the league with the New Orleans Saints.

Humber finished with 16 combined tackles last season with the Bills and was tied with Jonathan Meeks for the most special team tackles. This upcoming season could be much different for Humber.

Whoa!

Something went wrong.

Humber comes into training camp with an opportunity to start at the weakside linebacker position. Between Ramon Humber, Gerald Hodges, and Matt Milano, Humber boasts the most experience. Humber is definitely in the position to be a sleeper, and could have a breakout season similar to that of Lorenzo Alexander’s 2016 campaign.
